The original album includes six songs that reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The remaining four tracks each reached the Hot 100's Top 10. A re-issue in 1993 followed, replacing tracks by the Monkees, The Buckinghams, and Paul Revere & The Raiders with songs by Aretha Franklin, The Young Rascals, and Sam & Dave.
Absent from the track lineup were songs by The Beatles. A disclaimer on the back of the album stated that licensing restrictions made those tracks unavailable for inclusion on the album.
